He served as a member of the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia for Kamloops-South Thompson from 2013 to 2024 under the banner of the British Columbia Liberal Party (renamed BC United in 2023). Stone was Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure from 2013 to 2017. After being elected to the B.C. legislature in the 2013 provincial election, he was appointed as Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure. In this role, Stone increased speed limits to 120 km/h on rural highways and introduced legislation for ticketing improper use of passing lanes.
